Thompson, Coe, Cousins & Irons is proud to announce that Will D. Davis was named as “Lawyer of the Year” for 2010 by Best Lawyers. Only a single lawyer in each practice area in each community is being honored as the “Lawyer of the Year” for 2010. Will is being honored for his work in Insurance Law.

According to the Best Lawyer website, “Best Lawyers compiles its lists of outstanding attorneys by conducting exhaustive peer-review surveys in which thousands of leading lawyers confidentially evaluate their professional peers. The current, 16th edition of The Best Lawyers in America (2010), is based on more than 2.8 million detailed evaluations of lawyers by other lawyers.

The lawyers being honored as ‘Lawyers of the Year’ were selected because they received particularly high ratings from most of their peers. In some cases, they also received particularly effusive comments from some of those same peers. The selected lawyers have earned a high level of respect among other leading lawyers in the same communities and the same practice areas for their abilities, their professionalism, and their integrity.”

Steven Naifeh, President of Best Lawyers, says, “We continue to believe – as we have believed for 28 years – that recognition by one’s peers is the most meaningful form of recognition in the legal profession.”
